Among Chinese dramas, which type is the most popular but also the most disappointing?
I think it is a criminal investigation drama.
There is no doubt that this type of drama has national popularity. Dramas such as "Crime Group Six", "Case No. 1" and "Conquest" are all regarded as classics by the audience and are still often mentioned by everyone today.
Of course, criminal investigation dramas have also had their troughs.
Until recent years, this genre has become famous again. From "Operation Icebreaker" and "" to "" and "Hurious", for more than 30 years, the basics of criminal investigation dramas are still there. exist.
However, 2024 is already halfway through, and criminal investigation dramas seem to have not yet gained momentum. In
's upcoming film list, ruthless dramas such as "White Night 2", "Above the Clouds", " Just Cause " have yet to be seen.
Is there another criminal investigation drama that is truly enjoyable to watch?
is coming.
The contemporary prosecutor-themed investigative drama "In the Name of the Law" has officially wrapped up production recently. At the same time, the showrunners released the first trailer with a wave of their hands, featuring a strong lineup and superb picture quality.
After watching the trailer, I concluded that this is the most popular criminal investigation drama this year!
In the name of the law, rape and eradicate evil
"In the name of the law" tells the story of Haidong Provincial Procuratorate Prosecutor Zheng Yaping (Jiang Xin) and others, who are reviewing the "Wan Group's gang-related case" in Haizhou City At that time, it was discovered that the arrested suspect seemed to be forced to bear the crime.
Faced with many doubts, Zheng Yaping and others reported the case and used the reporting clues as a breakthrough to review multiple cases. Finally, the real culprit behind the scenes was arrested and the original suspect was cleared.
Combined with the trailer, this new work has three major highlights that cannot be ignored.
The first highlight: urban criminal investigation in a unique style.
Most of this year’s domestic criminal investigation dramas are based on the era, and the types of murder cases are similar. If you watch them too much, the audience will naturally get visual fatigue.
However, "In the Name of Law" interweaves multiple independent cases with the main case. There are both exciting unit cases and the exciting main line of cracking down on gangs and eliminating evil.
There are many cases related to people's livelihood, such as false accusation cases, corruption cases, homicide cases, etc.
Whose body is floating up and down under the ice; in the interrogation room, why Hong Liang ( Zhang translated as ), who is also a prosecutor, is being interrogated by Zheng Yaping.
Victims, perpetrators, enforcers, and avengers compete against each other.
Desire, hatred, and emotions are entangled and intertwined.
There are too many topics, scales, and reversals to watch in the new drama.
The second highlight: social suspense investigation.
The biggest suspense has always been the human heart.
Behind every case, there are various elements such as family emotions, social topics, etc.
Each case is full of suspense and mystery, keeping the audience tense and excited throughout the viewing process.
When the truth is revealed, it is human desire itself that is at work.
"Fairness, justice, truth, these are the ideal states mentioned in college books. Life is not, life is living."
When the justice of the judiciary is questioned, when the public loses confidence in public officials, a mole appears within the prosecutor. , these people can even be cruel to their own colleagues.
When the truth is revealed, human nature will be revealed.
The third highlight: the showdown between the forces of justice and evil.
The biggest highlight in "In the Name of Law" is the showdown between justice and evil.
In the Procuratorate, judicial personnel bending the law for personal gain is undoubtedly a challenge to the law.
In the trailer, in addition to the heroine Zheng Yaping's firm stand, people-centered, and upholding social fairness and justice, the other two prosecutors Hong Liang and Li Renjun (played by Li Guangjie) are difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.
"The law is your weapon, and the judiciary is your backing."
The core of the entire drama "In the Name of the Law" is murder, criminal investigation, and suspense. It is precisely for this reason that this drama is more interesting. .
The whole cast is talented in acting, and the content of old dramas exceeds the standard
Actors are also a crucial part of whether a criminal investigation drama can be successful, and the casting of "In the Name of the Law" is full of sincerity, there is no traffic, it is all about strength group.
ranked first, translated by Zhang.
As the most popular Mesozoic actor in the Mainland in recent years, Zhang Yi has delivered hard-core works regardless of whether it is a big or small screen.
From "My Leader, My Group", "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky" to "Hurry", he can easily control any genre and has great potential.
Zhang Yi has acted in too many criminal investigation suspense dramas. Playing too many roles of the same type will inevitably make the audience tired.
Therefore, in the new drama, Zhang Yi transforms into prosecutor Hong Liang to meet the audience. In the trailer of
, Hong Liang stands at the door of the interrogation room. When he hears the person opposite say "It's all over", his eyes are red and his expression is sad. The wrinkles on his forehead add a heavy sense of life experience to the character.
When he said the words "Someone didn't pass" with a trembling voice, I knew that this character had become.
second place, Jiang Xin.
Speaking of Jiang Xin, the first thing that audiences think of must be the role of Concubine Hua in "The Legend of Zhen Huan". This character is so classic, and Jiang Xin's acting skills are also quite superb.
In the new drama "In the Name of the Law", Jiang Xin will play prosecutor Zheng Yaping. In the
trailer, Zheng Yaping looks at the suspect who seems to have been wronged, with a sincere expression and sincere eyes and says, "The court is your backing."
One line can trigger a huge sense of suspense. This is the tension of a good actor's performance.
Jiang Xin's acting skills have always been full of tension. If the role is given to her, she will definitely shine.
The third place is Wang Jinsong.
Veteran drama star Wang Jinsong has portrayed too many classic characters, from "Langya Bang" to "The Wind Blowing Pinellia", no matter how big or small the character is, in his hands, they are absolutely full and three-dimensional.
In the new drama, Wang Jinsong will play the role of Zhang Fang. In the
trailer, Zhang Fang is standing in a dim office, wearing a straight suit, looking at the sunset on the horizon, with a solemn expression and a deep coldness in his eyes. One look in his eyes is full of tension.
I am so looking forward to the wonderful performance of the veteran actor in the play.
ranks fourth, Feng Jiayi .
This veteran actor made a small debut as the "love brain" Su Jianren in "City Within a City". In the play, Feng Jiayi played the character's bravado and sleekness to the fullest, and her acting skills were superb.
In the new drama, Feng Jiayi will play the role of Xu Yanwu. In the
trailer, Xu Yanwu is wearing a police uniform, raising his head, frowning, with a serious expression, and the coldness in his eyes is frightening.
It seems that this character is not easy to mess with. Although I don’t know whether the character is good or evil, Feng Jiayi’s performance never disappoints the audience.
ranked fifth, Ding Yongdai.
Veteran drama star Ding Yongdai is also here. Lin Maogen in " An Jia ", Zhou Zhigang in "人世", Ma Kui in "South to North", Ding Yongdai's performances are perfect, and he can always bring out the charm of the characters. Show the audience as much as possible.
In the new drama "In the Name of Law", Ding Yongdai will play the role of Yu Tiancheng. In the
trailer, Yu Tiancheng is wearing a suit. He seems to be eating. While chewing the food, he turns his head and looks back disdainfully, as if he is waiting to see something good, with a hint of caution in his eyes.
Judging from the trailer, this character looks quite bossy. I wonder if he is the biggest behind-the-scenes villain of the show. I am looking forward to it.
In addition to the above-mentioned powerful actors, Liu Jia, Hao Ping, Li Guangjie, Shi Jingming and many other powerful actors will play important roles in the drama. This is definitely an acting feast, so exciting.
Conclusion
